The 1996–97 Ulster Rugby season was Ulster's second season under professionalism, during which they competed in the IRFU Interprovincial Championship and the Heineken Cup.
In June 1996, Ulster hired former Leicester Tigers coach Tony Russ on a five-year contract as their Director of Rugby. He would coach the Ulster senior team, organise strategy, and help develop the game from schools to senior level, working closely with IRFU Director of Rugby Ray Southam.
At this stage the Irish provinces were still representative teams, not professional clubs. However, Ulster were now offering contracts and match fees for Heineken Cup and Interprovincial matches, although these contracts sometimes conflicted with players contracted to clubs in England. Meanwhile, clubs in England and Wales were unhappy at having to compete against representative teams from Ireland in the Heineken Cup. Out-half David Humphreys and lock Jeremy Davidson defied their club, London Irish, by competing in the Heineken Cup for Ulster, but were unavailable for Ulster's match against Australia as it clashed with London Irish's league match against Wasps. In Humphreys' absence, Ulster called on former Scotland "A" international Stuart Laing.
In November, Russ quit to join English second division club Waterloo F.C., unhappy that after eight games, he ould not be able to work with his Ulster players again for six months. Clive Griffiths was lined up to take over, but withdrew for family reasons. Davy Haslett, a geography teacher at Royal Belfast Academical Institution and assistant coach on the 1997 Ireland A rugby union tour of Oceania, was named as coach for the 1997–98 season in June.

Church of Saint Andrew Babola in Narach is a Neo-Gothic Roman Catholic church in Minsk region, Belarus, built in 1897–1901. Nowadays the church belongs to the Discalced Carmelites.
History
The first wooden church on this site was built around 1651. By 1746 it decayed and was reconstructed by . The written documents of that time describe the church as a huge construction with six altars.
In 1862 a fire damaged the building; it was restored on donations of the prior and the parish. A painting of Alfred Izydor Romer allows us to imagine the appearance of the church in that time. It was decorated according to Uniate tradition.
The cornerstone of the new church was laid on September 2, 1897, by the efforts of Ignazy Rossolovsky. The money for the construction was donated by the local parish. The red bricks were brought from Pastavy, the wood was given by sir Skirmunt from . The works were finished by August 4, 1901. When the stone church was constructed, the old wooden one was demolished (however, the historical wooden bell tower is still intact, it was restored in 1995 and 2019).
The new church was consecrated on September 9, 1901. The works on the interiors resumed and only three years later the temple was officially opened by the bishop Eduard von der Ropp. In 1902 the pipe organ was installed.
The parish registers were keeping records of all births, deaths and marriages in the parish up to 1938. After the World War II the church was closed by order of the Soviet authorities. The services resumed only after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, then the Discalced Carmelites took over.
XXI Century
On August 22, 2019, a memorial plaque was installed in the church in honor of Lech Kaczyński's wife Maria.

The Chester train wreck occurred on August 31, 1893, outside of Chester, Massachusetts. A bridge collapse plunged four train cars into the Westfield River, killing 14 people. An investigation by Massachusetts Railroad Commission found that the bridge had been weakened by a maintenance crew that had removed rivets from the bridge.
Bridge
The wreck occurred on a 221-foot long, two-span iron lattice truss bridge that crossed over the Westfield River. The bridge had been built in 1874 and was in the process of being strengthened for larger locomotives. Crews were working that day and were on break at the time of the accident.
Accident
Around 12:30 pm, the bridge collapsed under the weight of the Boston and Albany Railroad’s Chicago limited express. The train's locomotive made it over the bridge, but was smashed. The buffet car, two sleeping cars, and the dining car plunged 20 feet into the water and shattered upon impact. The two day coaches and the smoking car in the rear of the train remained on the track. Although the accident occurred in a fairly isolated area, a man driving by on horse observed the wreck and rode into the village for help. Hundreds soon rushed to the scene including a physician, George L. Wood, who treated the injured with the help of the train's porters in a nearby apple orchard. They were then moved to nearby houses before being transported to hospitals in Springfield, Massachusetts via a two-horse wagon filled with hay and covered in blankets. 13 bodies, many of them horribly mutilated, were pulled from the wreck. A fourteenth victim died three days later.
Investigation
The Massachusetts Railroad Commission launched an inquiry into the accident. The commission heard testimony from four expert witnesses, all who testified that the bridge could have held the weight of the train under normal conditions, however the bridge had weakened the bridge by 50% when the work crew removed the rivets from the connector plate on the top chord of the south truss and neglected to secure it with bolts or draft pins and failed to bolt the new plates in place at the end post.
An inquest overseen by Judge Homer B. Stevens of the Western Hampden District Court in Westfield, Massachusetts placed the blame on J. D. Reed and Daniel Belville, the supervisors of the crew working on the bridge. Stevens criticized Reed for not giving Belville specific instructions and Belville, who was not a knowledgeable or qualified bridge builder, for not personally inspecting the work before he and his crew left.

Batman: The Imposter is an American comic book published by DC Comics under its Black Label imprint. The three-issue limited series, written by Mattson Tomlin and illustrated and lettered by Andrea Sorrentino, began publication on October 12, 2021, and concluded on December 14, 2021.
Publication
Batman: The Imposter was written by Mattson Tomlin and illustrated and lettered by Andrea Sorrentino, with colors by Jordie Bellaire. The limited series was officially announced by DC Comics on July 14, 2021, as a title under the DC Black Label — an imprint designed to allow comic book writers to submit their own unique interpretations of traditional DC Universe (DCU) characters for a more mature audience.
The three issues of Batman: The Imposter were released by DC Comics at monthly intervals, with the first being published on October 12, 2021, and the last on December 14, 2021. Batman: The Imposter was also published simultaneously in the following territories: Argentina, Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain and Turkey. The three issues were collected into a hardcover edition of the series, which was published on February 22, 2022.
Issues
Reception
Reviewing the first issue of Batman: The Imposter, Dustin Holland of Comic Book Resources described the life-like version of Batman featured in the series as "a refreshingly vulnerable vision of the Dark Knight". Holland also commented on how the brutal fight sequences increase the "human quality" of the comic book. At the end of his analysis, Holland wrote: "Batman: The Imposter #1 kicks off the series with a bang and promises more thought-provoking, beautifully drawn excitement is to come".
Chris Arrant of GamesRadar+ compared Batman: The Imposter to Batman: Year One, Gotham Central and Batman: Earth One, due to the realistic tone the series addresses, which is similar to the other three comics.

Julian Schmid (born 1 September 1999) is a German nordic combined skier.
Career
Early career
Schmid, who competes for SC Oberstdorf, was trained by Thomas Müller in his youth. Schmid completed his first international competitions at the OPA Nordic Ski Games in 2014 in Gérardmer, France. He took fourth place in the Gundersen competition for students on the middle hill and over 4 km. In the years that followed, Schmid regularly competed in Alpine Cup competitions, but rarely found himself in the top 20. In the junior competition of the 2016 OPA Games, Schmid also finished 16th. Together with Simon Hüttel, Niclas Heumann and Tim Kopp he won the silver medal in the team competition. At the beginning of the 2016-17 Alpine Cup season, Schmid finished eighth in Winterberg and was among the top ten for the first time. At the German Nordic Combined Championships in 2016, he finished third among the juniors. In January 2017, he then celebrated his Continental Cup debut, but missed the points in both Otepää and Eisenerz, so he was demoted back to the Alpine Cup. Schmid scored his first points in the Continental Cup on 16 December 2017 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. At the 2018 Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in Kandersteg, Schmid only competed in the team competition, where he finished in second place along with Kopp, Luis Lehnert and Constantin Schnurr. The good results in the summer of 2018, in which he scored his first points in the Grand Prix, were followed by an equally good start to the 2018-19 Continental Cup season. After two podium finishes in Park City, Utah, Schmid was called up to the senior national squad for the World Cup. On his debut in Otepää, he made it straight into the points with 26th place. At the 2019 Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in Lahti, Schmid was in top form and won the sprint competition. He also won the gold medal in the team event with Lehnert, Simon Hüttel and David Mach. In the 10 km individual event, he lost to Austrian Johannes Lamparter. In the two weeks that followed, Schmid was again part of the World Cup team, where he scored World Cup points on all three days of competition. At the Gundersen competition in Lahti on the Salpausselkä large hill and over 10 km, Schmid achieved his best World Cup result of the season with 15th place.
Move to the World Cup
In May, when the DSV published their squad classification for the coming season, Schmid announced that he had been promoted to course level 1a and was therefore nominated for the national squad. He was already able to live up to this vote of confidence in the 2019 Grand Prix. Schmid completed in numerous competitions, including sixth place in Oberhof in early September. He followed this performance at the German Championships in Klingenthal and Johanngeorgenstadt. While he narrowly missed the podium in the individual, he won his first medal at senior level together with Johannes Rydzek in third place in the team sprint. As the reigning Junior World Champion, Schmid was secured a place in the World Cup team at the start of the winter in Rukatunturi. After initially just missing out on the points, he showed his potential with ranks 14 and 16. With further good performances in Lillehammer, he consolidated his position in the German World Cup team, although his mileage still had room for improvement. He finished the season in 32nd place in the overall World Cup rankings. Since no international competitions took place in summer 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the German championships in October in Oberstdorf were the first events Schmid competed in that year. In the individual event, he showed balanced performances in jumping and cross-country skiing and finally finished ninth before finishing fourth in the team sprint the following day together with Wendelin Thannheimer. At the start of the 2020–21 season, Schmid traveled to Ruka as a reserve athlete with the German World Cup team, but was not deployed there. He therefore completed his first competitions on the second weekend in December as part of the Continental Cup in Park City, where three competitions were pending. In the first Gundersen race he was able to make up the deficit of more than a minute after the jump and catch up with the leading group, but he lost a few places on the last lap and finally finished seventh. On the second day of the competition, he put himself in a promising position in the mass start after cross-country skiing, which he exploited the following day with the second-best jumping performance and was able to celebrate his first Continental Cup victory. The third competition was again held using the Gundersen method, but this time Schmid managed to remain part of the leading group until the end and, after a successful sprint against Jakob Lange, he finally achieved his second victory. He was then honored by the FIS as Athlete of the Week. The following weekend, Schmid was again part of the German World Cup team in Ramsau and finished in the points on both days of the competition. In mid-January 2021, Schmid finished fourth in the team sprint in Val di Fiemme along with Rydzek after losing to the Finnish team.

Phalaenopsis celebensis is a species of miniature epiphytic orchid endemic to the island Sulawesi of Indonesia. The specific epithet celebensis refers to another name of the island Celebes and indicates this species origin on this island.
Description
The 17 cm long and 6 cm wide, oblong-obovate leaves with a dark green ground colour are speckled with silverly dots, which are arranged in horizontal stripes. The inflorescences are densely flowered racemes, bearing white flowers with central brown suffusions on the petals. This colouration is not present on the sepals, but the base of the labellum also bears brown stripes. The dorsal sepal is revolute, i.e. it bends backwards. The lateral sepals bend inwards.
Conservation
This species is protected under the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade. Endemic species of Sulawesi easily go extinct, as habitat destruction in favour of housing areas, plantations, roads or illegal logging occurs.

Dimitrios or Dimitrakis Indares () was a fighter of the Greek War of Independence.
Biography
Indares was born in Leivartzi, a village in Achaea, around 1777, to family expatriated from Mystras. His family name was Papadopoulos, but he was nicknamed 'Indares' from the Turkish (= administration, direction, management), Indares (= commander, chief of a military corps). Until the final adoption of this surname, he signed as Spiliopoulos ('son of Spilios').
As a young man he went to Zakynthos, where he joined the British Army for a short time. There he was initiated into the Filiki Eteria and then undertook the initiation of the 33 villages of the Leivarzi-Kapeli area. On March 16, 1821, he organized the attack against the Turks of Mostenitsa and set fire to the tower of the Turco-Albanian landowner from Lalas, Elmaz Agha, where he found plenty of ammunition, part of which he contributed to the siege of the towers of Kalavryta. This fact is probably the first attack at the beginning of the revolution against an inhabited settlement, since the attack to the city of Kalavryta and Kalamata took place later.
The attack on Elmaz Agha's tower was in part motivated by revenge against Elmaz for having abducted his cousin Eleni, daughter of the local magnate Christodoulos Papadopoulos. The romance between the Muslim Elmaz Agha and the Christian Eleni around the year 1800, was a major local event and became a legend, which survived as a folk song with various variations.
At the battle of Pyrgos, on April 3, 1821, as the leader of a group from Kalavryta he hurried to strengthen the defense of the rebels under Charalambos Vilaetis against the attack of the numerous Turco-Albanians of Lala.
While the Lalaians had already entered the city looting and destroying, and the body-to-body conflict was now raging in the area of Agios Charalambos (Kanoulia), the arrival of the Kalavryta rebels took the Turks by surprise. Attacked in their rear, they were forced to withdraw.
Indares offered great services in the battle of Lalas, at Pousi, where, among other things, he provided the tools used by the Greek rebels to entrench themselves. He showed great zeal as he went alone from outpost to outpost, expecting a night attack from the Turks.
He fought in the battle of Agios Vlasis (July 1827), as the leader of a contingent from his home area and contributed to the effort of Theodoros Kolokotronis, to recover the villages of Achaea that had submitted to the Ottomans. Some 1,100 Greeks, led by Vassilios Petimezas, Dagres from Argos and Indares, were attacked by 6,000 Turks under Deli Ahmed and 2,000 turncoat Greeks under D. Nenekos. Indares was seriously injured.
His activity is also mentioned in other military operations: in Patras, Akrata, Alonistaina, Piana, Chrepa, Kremasti (Monemvasia), Gerakovouni.
In 1825 the Provisional Administration of Greece promoted him to chiliarch. After the end of the war, he became an officer of the Royal Phalanx, with his final promotion on August 27, 1845 to the rank of Captain of the Phalanx (equivalent to Colonel).
He is registered in the Archive of the Struggle Committee (EBE) as Spiliopoulos / Indares, with several reports on his activities and important signatures.
In a memorandum that Indares submitted to King Otto of Greece in 1844, he includes a brief account of his participation in the war but also of his subsequent activity in the community of the wider area of Kalavryta. The memorandum is in the General Archives of the State.
His grandson was the Greek-Australian journalist .

Alexander Wylie (4 November 1872 – 21 April 1902) was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as an inside left.
Career
His only club at the professional level was St Mirren, where he spent eleven seasons (all in the Scottish Football League's top division), making 190 appearances for the Buddies in the two major competitions and scoring 73 goals. He is known to have won the regional Renfrewshire Cup at least twice, scoring in the finals of 1891 and 1894, and been a losing finalist in 1892.
Wylie was selected once for the Scottish Football League XI against the Irish League XI in April 1893; in the absence of any Rangers or Celtic players who were excused due to their involvement in a pivotal league fixture on the same day, the understrength Scottish team lost 3–2. Wylie had to leave the field in the first half due to injury, with clubmate Andrew Brown allowed to replace him as a substitute (which had to be approved by the host body). Although St Mirren were also in contention for the SFL title, Brown and Wylie were accompanied by Edward McBain for the match in Belfast, and their club met Third Lanark without them, losing 6–1.
Personal life
Wylie was born in the village of Crosslee in Renfrewshire; his father died in 1875 and the family moved within the county, first to Lochwinnoch then to Paisley. Having found a trade as an engineer in a paper mill, he was forced to retire from playing football in 1901 due to suffering from tuberculosis – he was unable to recover from the illness and died in April 1892, aged 29. A friendly match between St Mirren and Rangers a month later had already been planned with the intention of the proceeds going to him; instead they were given to his mother and family.

Germanos Zapheiropoulos (; 1760–1821) was a Greek priest and bishop, who helped prepare the Greek War of Independence in the Peloponnese.
Biography
He was born in the village of Mesorrougi of the province of Kalavryta in 1760. His secular name was George. He originated from a wealthy family, with ancestors from Constantinople. His father’s name was Zafeiris Zafeiropoulos and his mother’s was Efstathia. He was a cousin of the protosynkellos and historian . The Ottomans killed his father when he was very young. At the age of nine he entered as a novice in Mega Spilaio monastery, later becoming a monk and being given the name Germanos. He was later ordained a deacon and a presbyter.
At around 1800 he found himself in Thessaloniki where he worked for two years as a teacher. He later went to Belgrade where he worked as a teacher while promoting the Greek uprising. The Ottoman authorities expelled him from the city and, subsequently, he went to the Danubian Principalities. He remained there for two years where he learnt the Aromanian language. In the end, he was also expelled from there by the Turkish authorities due to his nationalistic action. He returned to Mega Spilaio and, subsequently, departed for pilgrimage to Jerusalem. At a later date, he travelled to Constantinople, where he was already known for his wisdom. The Holy Synod of the Patriarchate first elected him Bishop of Sebasteia and later, under Patriarch Gregory V (1806-1808), in March 1807, elected him successor of Germanos of Christianopolis (1793-1807).
Because of his fame, Alexander Ypsilantis appointed him as one of the 4-5 registrars of the Filiki Eteria, where he had been initiated since 1818. He participated in the convention of Vostitsa, disagreeing with Papaflessas' confinement and promoting arguments against it. During the fundraiser that took place, he donated 2000 grosia (topical currency at the time). The Turkish authorities gradually became suspicious of the Peloponnesian archbishops’ actions, leading them to conduct an array of arrests. In order to proceed with their plan, they summoned the Archbishops to a fraudulent meeting in Tripolitsa. Germanos was amongst those arrested, reaching the city on the March 8th having left Kyparissia on March 5th. He died as a result of the hardships of his captivity on September 21st 1821.

McPherson Seaplane Base was a seaplane base (seaplane landing area) in Tompkins County, New York near the city of Ithaca. It featured a landing area (water runway) 10,000 feet long on Cayuga Lake. The lake has an elevation of 382 feet above sea level.
In the mid 20th century it was a full time business with a dock and hangar located on the western side of Cayuga Lake, just south of Crowbar Point. It was attended with regular business hours. At some point in the 1980s, it became an unattended seaplane landing area. At some point in the early 2000s, the seaplane base symbol disappeared from FAA sectional charts, and the FAA identifier 5N1 was removed from the FAA database of airports.
Seaplanes can still land on the lake in this area, but no official FAA seaplane base designation remains.

In the second part of the XIX century the building was restored and consecrated in the name of the Holy Trinity. Since 1912 the church is a filial of the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Sir Joseph Nombri (1940 –2008) was a politician, administrator and diplomat in Papua New Guinea (PNG). He played an important role in events leading up to PNG's independence in 1975 and later became the country's ambassador in Tokyo.
Early life and education
Joseph Karl Nombri was born on 25 September 1940 in Wagl village, Pari, near Kundiawa in the Simbu Province in the Highlands of PNG. He was an only child, with his parents being from the Kamanuku and Kengaku tribes. After schooling in Kundiawa he went to Goroka High School, a provincial school, before transferring to Sogeri High School, one of the country's four (now six) national high schools that prepared students for tertiary education. One of his fellow students at Sogeri was Michael Somare, the future prime minister of PNG. Nombri received a scholarship to study in Australia, after which he joined the new Administrative College in Port Moresby, capital of what was then the Territory of Papua and New Guinea.
Political life
In the mid-1960s, Nombri was a member of the Bully Beef Club, which was a political discussion group made up of students at the Administrative College and others. Somare was a member, as was Albert Maori Kiki, in whose home the meetings were usually held. The Bully Beef Club led to the founding of the Pangu Pati in 1967, with Nombri as its first chairman. Pangu took part in elections for the House of Assembly of Papua and New Guinea in 1968 and 1972 and, in 1975, formed the government of the independent state of Papua New Guinea.
Career
On graduating from the Administrative College, Nombri became a kiap, a district officer or patrol officer who representated the Australian government in the Territory. This was a job that had previously been done mainly by young Australian men. Having been earmarked by the administration as a troublemaker, he was sent to one of the country's most remote places, Kiunga on the Fly River in Western Province, close to the border with Indonesia. He was subsequently transferred to several other locations and became the first Papua New Guinean from the Highlands to be appointed as a district commissioner, first in the Eastern Highlands Province (1971–1972) and then in Morobe Province (1973–1976).
After leaving Morobe, Nombri served as the Public Service Commissioner from 1976 until he resigned in 1979. In 1981 he was appointed as ambassador to Japan, South Korea and China, being based in Tokyo, a position he held for 11 years, becoming the doyen of the Tokyo diplomatic corps. He could have stayed in the post longer but in 1991 he requested to be recalled so that he could be a candidate in the 1992 national election. He stood for the Chimbu Regional seat, but was not elected. Among the investments by Japan and China in PNG that he was able to promote while ambassador was a new hospital for his home town of Kundiawa, which would be renamed after him after his death.
In 2003–04, Nombri was one of five initial candidates in controversial elections in parliament for the position of Governor-General, that also involved Sir Pato Kakaraya, Sir Albert Kipalan, Sir Paulias Matane and Nahau Rooney. Matane eventually emerged victorious after a rerun of the vote and legal challenges.
Honours
Nombri was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), a Member of the same order (MBE) and later received a knighthood (KBE). He also received a British Empire Medal (BEM) and an Imperial Service Medal.
Death
Nombri died in Port Moresby of throat cancer on 14 January 2008. He was buried at the entrance of the hospital in Kundiawa named after him.

Ladislaja Harnoncourt, née Gräfin von Meran, Freiin von Brandhoven (8 October 1899 – 22 July 1997) was a member of the Austrian Harnoncourt family. She raised seven children, two of them from her husband's first marriage, including the conductor and pioneer of historically informed performance Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and the priest and patron of the arts Philipp Harnoncourt.
Life
Ladislaja Johanna Franziska Gräfin von Meran, Freiin von Brandhoven, was born in 1899. She was the great-granddaughter of the Habsburg Archduke Johann, the 13th child of Emperor Leopold II, making him a descendant of various Holy Roman Emperors and other European royalty. Her father was Franz, Count of Meran, who bought Schloss Stainz, where she was born. As a girl, she was regarded as uneducatable, and was nicknamed "Die wilde Laja" (The wild Laja). She was a good dancer and singer. She was engaged with a Hungarian baron, who tragically died. She then decided to remain single and work as a nurse.
Her future husband, Eberhard Harnoncourt (1896–1970), born Graf de la Fontaine und d'Harnoncourt-Unverzagt, was an Austrian engineer working in Berlin.

Erika Jeannine Edwards is a professor at Yale University known for her work on evolution of plants. She is also the director of the Marsh Botanical Garden.
Education and career
Edwards has a B.S. from Stanford University (1998) and earned her Ph.D. from Yale University where she worked on the evolution of the Pereskia, a genus of cactus. Following her Ph.D. she was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara before accepting a position at Brown University as an assistant professor in 2007. In 2017 she moved to Yale University as a professor and director of the Marsh Botanical Garden.
In 2020 she began her term as president of the Society of Systematic Biologists.
Research
Edwards research focuses on succulents and the evolution of C4 carbon fixation in plants. Her early research centered on Pereskia where she examined its physiology and the its place in the evolutionary history of cactus plants. Her research into C4 carbon fixation has examined how climate change alters the distribution of the C4 grasses and revealed that the C4 carbon fixation pathway gives plants an advantage in dry environments. Her subsequent research tracked the increase in C4 grasses with increases in tropical woodlands and savannas. Edwards led the working group which established the phylogeny of C4 grasses and defined the genetic differences across different types of grass. She uses changes in leaf shape to define how plants expend their resources during growth, examines plants' responses to changes in biome. and compares the parallel evolution of C4 photosynthesis and crassulacean acid metabolism.
Selected publications
Awards and honors
In 2016, Edwards received a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).

Gemma Collins: Self-Harm & Me is a British television documentary fronted by media personality and businesswoman Gemma Collins. The documentary follows Collins as she gives an intimate and personal account of her struggles with self-harm and how it has impacted her life. The special aired on 16 February 2022 on Channel 4. The documentary received mostly positive reviews from critics writing for newspapers including The Guardian, The Independent and The Daily Telegraph, who praised the different side that Collins had shown to her personality and accredited her with raising awareness for self-harm.
Production
The commissioning of the documentary was announced by Channel 4 in July 2021 and was described as a raw and candid documentary revealing Gemma Collins' "painful experience" with self-harm. The film was produced by Definitely, which is part of the production company Banijay UK who worked with Collins alongside mental health charity Mind to investigate what is behind the rise in cases of self-harm in the United Kingdom. Upon the announcement, Lee McMurray, the commissioning editor for Channel 4, said: "Gemma Collins has taken the brave decision to open up about her own experience with self-harm. As an instantly recognisable and relatable figure we applaud her courage in revealing her own struggles, and hope this film and her insight will spark vitally important conversations around young people and self-harm." Collins described the documentary as the "best television [she's] ever made", because she is "not [her alter ego] the GC on there – she is very much herself". She also added that she was keen to tackle the subject of self-harm following the suicide of her friend Rhys the previous year.
Content
Gemma sits down with therapist Mandy Saligari, whom she first met when she appeared on In Therapy in 2016; and tells her that she began self-harming at the age of 13, confessing that she felt scared and ashamed and never told anybody due to the fear of being admitted to a mental health hospital. She admits that the first time she self-harmed was in front of her parents, who were shocked but continued as normal and the incident wasn't spoken about again. Gemma meets her school friend Vicky, who tells her she knew "something wasn't right" and that [Gemma] never opens up about how she is feeling. Gemma then visits a pharmacy and demonstrates the type of plasters she would use to hide her scars before attending a self-harm support group in Essex, where she speaks to three women about their experiences. Her fiancé Rami recalls the time he had caught Gemma self-harming and her subsequent reaction of reassuring him that it wouldn't happen again. She discusses her future plans to have a baby with him and reveals her fears about revisiting self-harm once she's a mother. Gemma tells Mandy she feels very "settled" with Rami, that he loves her for her and showed her compassion throughout her struggle with self-harm. She also discusses how her mother's upbringing contributed to the way she herself was raised, stating that because her mother was adopted and felt abandoned, she grew up with no confidence and therefore pushed [Gemma] to always be confident and perform. Gemma says as a result of this she struggled to open up about her emotions but says she doesn't blame her mother.
Gemma speaks to her mother Joan who struggles to understand what was behind the reason for her self-harming, because she didn't have any stress in her life at a young age. When Gemma asks her why she didn't opt to seek help, her mum says that she didn't feel the need to because she always kept her eye on her. Gemma visits Harmless, a self-harm prevention centre in Nottingham where she speaks to its founder Caroline Harroe about the support they provide and the statistics of self-harm and suicide. She gets emotional when discussing her friend Rhys' suicide and attends the weekly drop-in session at the centre, where she meets two people who have self-harmed. Mandy suggests that the reason Gemma has struggled to open up about how she feels, may be because she has put her parents' feelings first in fear of upsetting them by talking about her own emotions. In the concluding scenes, Gemma and Joan reminisce watching her old stage productions and have an honest and frank discussion about why she self-harmed. Gemma shuts down her mother when she suggests that her self-harming was influenced by something she saw on television. Joan adds that her way of dealing with things was to "carry on and keep everything happy" and that she never thought [Gemma] was depressed, to which Gemma responds that those who self-harm can appear to be "happy" and "normal", but tells her mother she understands why she has struggled to deal with it. Gemma concludes by saying that she has "no grievances with her parents and loves them more than ever", stating that she is ready for the next chapter in her life and has "made peace" with her past.
Reception
The documentary received praise for tackling the subject of self-harm, with Anita Singh of the Daily Telegraph describing it as "a superb takedown of the stiff upper lip". Singh said the programme demonstrated that "Collins was brought up in a family which, although loving, involved a level of artifice: everyone required to be smiling and strong, sailing through life without a care". She felt that many viewers would relate to the family dynamic shown in the documentary. Despite her critique of Joan Collins' attitude, Singh noted her compassion for the upbringing that she had experienced and felt that this contributed to her attitude when raising Gemma. Singh explained: "Collins's mother was a sweet woman who had buried her own pain at being abandoned as a baby and brought up in foster care. No wonder she attempted to create a perfect childhood of dance lessons and day trips for her daughter."
Nicole Vassell of The Independent felt that the programme showed "a different side" to Collins. She wrote that an important thing for viewers to take away from it was that Collins is "a completely different entity" to her on her other television appearances, and that in the documentary, she comes across as "sensitive, softly spoken and fiercely protective of her loved ones". However, Vassell felt that Collins had an inability to fully address her issues and that it stopped the documentary from reaching its full potential. She felt that Collins sometimes talked about self-harm as though it had not affected her, writing: "this sense of detachment is frustrating: if Collins shies away from going beneath the surface, there’s only so much this project can explore". However, Vassell understood that this could be accredited to the mindset of Collins' mother, as well as noting that Collins' lifelong struggles cannot be "succinctly wrapped up" in a television special. Writing for The Guardian, Hollie Richardson described Collins as a "nice, normal person [...] who talks to people with genuine empathy". She praised Collins for the candid conversations she has with her mother about the past and for highlighting the difficulty many people have in speaking about mental health, especially across the generational divide.

Ballabhgarh State, historically known as Kingdom of Ballabhgarh was a Princely state in Haryana, India, ruled by Hindu Jats of Tewatia clan. It was founded by Jat king Raja Gopal Tewatia on 1705.
History
The founder: Gopal Singh
Gopal Singh, a Tewatia Jat, the founder of the princely state of Ballabgarh, migrated from Alwalpur village in 1705, and established himself at Sihi ( from Ballabhgarh) after attacking the local Tyagi Brahman rulers there. Gopal Singh Tewatia of Sihi started establishing his power in Delhi, Khair and Mathura areas. He attacked Rajput of that area with the help of local Jats villagers.He became more powerful and richer and started looting the mughal travelers on Delhi–Agra royal route during the reign of Aurangzeb (d. 1707). In 1710, during the reign of Aurangzeb's son Bahadur Shah I, the Mughal officer Murtaza Khan killed him in 1711.
Gopal's successor was his son Charan Das Tewatia, who was also ambitious. When Charan Das saw weakening of the Mughal rule, he stopped paying malgujari (octroi) to Mughals. As a result, Mughals arrested and imprisoned Charan Das at Faridabad fort for a short time in 1714 during the reign of Farrukhsiyar (r. 1713–1719). His son Balram Singh freed him by pretending to pay the ransom. Charan Das's son, Balram Singh, later rose to be a powerful king.
Expansion: Balram Singh (Ballu Jat)
On 30 June 1750, Safdar Jung, marched against Balram but Balram managed to evade him using stratagem with the help of Marathas. Mughal king Ahmad Shah Bahadur replaced Safdar Jung with Gaziuddin Khan ("Intizam-Ud-Daullahas" or "lmad-ul-Mulk", the imperial Mir Bakhshi) as new wizir. Safdar Jung, supported by Balram Jat and Surajmal Jat, revolted against the Mughal king. Murtija Khan's son Aqaibet Mahmud Khan was the chief diwan of Gaziuddin Khan, he and Balram agreed to meet to negotiate the terms of truce. Balram arrived with his son, diwan and 250 men, angry words flew, Balram put his hand on his sword, Aquibat's guard suddenly fell upon Balram and killed him, his son, diwan and 9 other escorts. Maharaja Suraj Mal Jat retaliated by capturing Palwal from Mughals on 27 September 1754. He also caught the qazi there and slayed the qanungo Santokh Rai for scheming Balram's murder. In November 1755, Jats under Suraj Mal also recaptured Ballabgarh and Ghasira from Mughals. Suraj Mal appointed sons of Balram, Bishan Singh as Nazim and Kishan Singh as kiledar, who stayed in these roles till 1774 under Suraj Mal.
From 1757 to 1760, Ahmad Shah Abdali waged war against Jats and Marathas. After the defeat of Maratha Empire in the Third Battle of Panipat on 12 June 1761, Suraj Mal recaptured Ballabhgarh from Abdali's forced in 1762 and reinstated Balram's sons Kishan Singh and Bishan Singh in their roles under Bharatpur State.
On 20 April 1774, Ajit Singh with title of "Raja" and Hira Singh with titles of "Raja" and "Salar Jang" were restored to Ballabhgarh as descendant of Balram by Mughal king after they were removed by Bharatpur king. In 1775, Ajit Singh was formally appointed Raja of Ballabhgarh under Mughal authority. In 1793, Ajit Singh was killed by his brother Zalim Singh, and Ajit's son Bahadur Singh became the king. Till 1803 Ballabhgarh rulers remained under Marathas .In 1785 mahadji capture deeg but not capture bharatpur after 1787 to keep peace with Jats gave 11 paragana to ranjit singh and make friendly relation with bharatpur to make peace ref agra province.
Jat rule during British era
In 1803, after the Treaty of Surji-Anjangaon Haryana was transferred to British by Maratha Empire. British confirmed Ajit Singh's son Bahadur Singh as independent ruler of Ballabhgarh jagir, as a buffer state between British border and Sikhs rulers, and it remained an independent princely state until the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Bahadur Singh killed in 1806. His son Narain Singh became king but he too was killed in 1806. Narain's son Anirudh Singh became king and ruled till he was killed in 1819. His infant son Sahib Singh ruled till 1825 when he died childless. Sahib's paternal uncle and Narain Singh's brother Ram Singh ruled till 1829 till his death.
In Raja Nahar Singh ascended the throne in 1829 after his father Ram Singh's death and proved to be a just ruler. Nahar Singh was ruler of 101 villages of Ballabhgarh. He, Nawab Ahmed Ali Khan of Farrukhnagar, and rulers of neighbouring principalities such as Rewari and Jhajjar, took part in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. On 10 September 1857, just four days before the British Army stormed Delhi, Nahar Singh wrote a letter to Governor General of India, Lord Ellenborough (1842–1844), whom he had met as a young man, seeking his protection. According to a 2011 auction catalogue, "it seems was written as a ruse to deceive the British in the event of his capture... as he was fully committed to the cause of Indian Independence".

Musically, Forget Your Own Face is an industrial noise pop album, and contains features of hyperpop, industrial hip hop, dream pop and screamo. The album is dark and angry in tone, featuring criticism of cultural appropriation, backlash against trans people and contemporary pop culture, as well as disses towards RuPaul and Travis Barker. According to Hannah Jocelyn of Pitchfork, Black Dresses' antagonism towards Barker is fueled by a fear of the commodification of hyperpop pushing the progenitors of the genre offline.
Reception
Hannah Jocelyn of Pitchfork felt that the album was "lighter" and "less introspective" than their previous emotionally heavy and personal albums, and praised the camaraderie between band members Ada Rook and Devi McCallion. James Rettig of Stereogum described the album as "brief and explosive" and said that it is "deliriously fun while also being a little terrifying". Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop felt that the album was more pessimistic than the duo's previous albums and thought that it seemed to continue past themes to a "very strong explosive finishing point". Overall, he opined that it contained "some of the duo's most explosive and imperative material to date". Hal Kitchen of 25YL argued that the chemistry between Rook and McCallion on the album gave it "emotional expressiveness" and a sense of genuineness, and praised their use of uncoventional song structure and the catchiness of their lyrics. He concluded "Black Dresses is the best band in the world right now. Their aesthetic and perspective are one of a kind, their performances utterly committed, and their songwriting skills light-years ahead of their contemporaries."

Shuwala (Šuwala) was a Hurrian goddess who was regarded as the tutelary deity of Mardaman, a Hurrian city in the north of modern Iraq. She was also worshiped in other Hurrian centers, such as Nuzi and Alalakh, as well as in Ur in Mesopotamia, Hattusa in the Hittite Empire and in the Syrian cities Emar and Ugarit.
An association between her and the goddess Nabarbi is present in many Hurrian documents. It is also assumed that she was an underworld goddess, and she frequently appears alongside other deities of such character, Allani and dU.GUR, possibly a logographic spelling of the name of Nergal.
Name
Multiple writings of the name are attested: šu-a-la in documents from Ur from the Ur III period, šu-u-wa-a-la, šu-u-wa-la, šu-u-wa-u-la, šu-wa-a-la and šu-wa-la in Hurro-Hittite documents from Hattusa; and ṯwl in a Hurrian text from Ugarit written in the local alphabetic script.
The variety of spelling in the Hittite sources in particular is regarded by researchers such as Marie-Claude Trémouille as evidence that the name did not originate in an Anatolian language. Reference works classify her as Hurrian in origin. However, Piotr Taracha regards her as one of the so-called "Syrian substratum" deities, similar to Ishara, Kubaba and Astabi.
Identification of Shuwala with Shala, wife of the Mesopotamian weather god Ishkur (Adad), proposed by Edward Lipiński based on the similarity of the names, is regarded as unsubstantiated. The similarity between names of the Hittite god Shuwaliyat and Shuwala is also regarded as accidental due to distinct areas of origin of these two deities. The view that Shuwala was merely an abbreviated form of Shuwaliyat, present in a number of older scholarly publications, is regarded as unsubstantiated.
Association with other deities
Hurro-Hittite ritual texts from Hattusa indicate that Shuwala was regarded as one of the goddesses belonging to the circle of Hebat, which consisted of Hurrian and Syrian deities. She was associated with the goddess Nabarbi in Hurrian sources, though she sometimes occurs in the proximity of the underworld goddess Allani (Allatum), the war god Astabi, and an otherwise unknown deity named Alḫe as well. In Ugarit, she occurs together with Kumarbi and Nupatik.
It has been proposed that the connection between Shuwala and Nabarbi, which is particularly common in known sources, relied on the accidental similarity between the names of Shuwala and Shuwaliyat, Nabarbi's husband in Hurro-Hittite tradition. However, it is also possible that it indicates both of these goddesses originated in the proximity of the Habur river. Worship of pairs of goddesses (for example Ishara and Allani, Hutena and Hutellura, Ninatta and Kulitta) as dyads was a common feature of Hurrian religion.
In Emar Shuwala appears in rituals alongside dU.GUR. dU.GUR has been interpreted as the logographic writing of either the name of Nergal or Resheph, though it is also possible it is meant to be read as Ugur, as a syllabic spelling of this name is known from Hurrian texts from both Emar and Nuzi. Ugur was in origin a sukkal of Nergal, replaced in this role by Ishum in later periods. In Mesopotamian sources his name was used to logographically represent the name of Nergal from the Middle Babylonian period onward.
Character and worship
Oldest presently known mentions of Shuwala come from documents from Ur from the Ur III period, one of which mentions the staff of temples of this deity, as well as Allatum (Allani) and Annunitum.
Shuwala was the tutelary goddess of Mardaman (modern Bassetki), a city in northern Mesopotamia assumed to be culturally Hurrian based on personal names of its inhabitants (for example Nakdam-atal and Nerish-atal). Shuwala was venerated there especially in the Old Babylonian and Mitanni periods. There is currently no older evidence from the city itself, but it is assumed that her cult had to exist there in earlier periods, as it already had supra-regional importance in the documented times. The city already existed during the reign of Naram-Sin of Akkad.
No evidence regarding the worship of Shuwala postdating the Assyrian conquest of Mardaman is presently available. A temple of the Mesopotamian medicine goddess Gula is attested in the city in documents from the reign of Tukulti-Ninurta I, but it cannot be established whether it replaced a preexisting temple of Shuwala.
While a terracotta relief of a naked woman which most likely had a cultic function, either as part of a ritual or as a depiction of a goddess, has been excavated in Mardaman, there is no evidence that it was a depiction of Shuwala.
Shuwala, directly labeled as "of Mardman," is present in the description of a Hurro-Hittite festival of Shaushka of Tameninga (a city assumed to be located in the upper Euphrates area) found in Hattusa. She was celebrated by cultic performers labeled as "Hurrian singers" in Hittite texts. In offering lists (kaluti) of Hebat and her circle she appears between Nabarbi and Aya.
She was also worshiped in Emar. While no evidence for the existence of a temple dedicated to her in this city is known, she is present in an offering list and two descriptions of rituals, all of them written in Akkadian, even though the goddess is agreed to belong to the Hurrian part of the pantheon of the city. She is mentioned in instructions for the kissu festival of Dagan, which most likely took place in Šatappi, a city possibly located further south. During this celebration, songs dedicated to her and dU.GUR were sung. The precise meaning of the term kissu remains uncertain, making the nature of these celebrations, and roles of specific deities in them, difficult to ascertain. It has been proposed that the presence of underworld deities - Shuwala and dU.GUR - indicates that it represented the periodic death and return to life of a deity, possibly Dagan's spouse, but this remains speculative. It is also possible that it involved abi, offering pits connected to the cult of underworld deities.
Shuwala also played a role in the kissu festival of Ishara and Emar's city god, dNIN.URTA.
She is attested in Hurrian theophoric names from Alalakh, Nuzi and Chagar Bazar.
Later relevance
In Biblical studies, the term Sheol is sometimes assumed to be a Hebrew derivative of Shuwala's name. According to assyriologist Lluis Feliu, a connection between Sheol and Shuwala is "possible, but not certain." Edward Lipiński regards the connection as proven, but relies on the assumption that Shuwala is one and the same as Allani, which is erroneous, as they appear together as two distinct deities in texts from Ur and Hattusa.

Fabiola Campillai is a Chilean Senator-elect known for losing her sight in a case of police brutality in the 2019–2020 Chilean protests.
She is a former worker and firefighter. On November 26, 2019, she was hit by a tear gas grenade permanently losing the sight in both eyes and the senses of olfaction and taste. Campillai was going to her nighttime work when she was hit by the grenade. She was accompanied by her sister, Ana María, when the incident happened. Ana María immediately confronted the police squad who shot the grenade, but had a grenade shot next to her causing her dress to catch fire. As the police denied Fabiola aid, Ana María shouted for help to which a neighbour reacted and brought Fabiola to hospital in his car. The next day police showed up outside Ana Marías house aiming to bring her to the police station, without showing any valid arrest warrant, which Ana María rejected after consulting with her lawyer. As of June 19, 2020, no suspect had been identified, but then on August 14, 2020, two police officers were fired for their involvement in the case. Both the officer in charge of the squad and the one who shot have been identified, and the latter brought to justice. The involved officers deny having aimed at her body or noticed that Fabiola had been injured.
Campillai and Gustavo Gatica, another well-known victim of police brutality, were part of campaign advertising for the "Approve" option in the 2020 Chilean national plebiscite held on October 25, 2020. In November 2021 Campillai was elected senator for Santiago Metropolitan Region with 15% of the valid votes in the 2021 Chilean general election, receiving more votes than any other candidate in her district. She celebrated her election in Plaza Baquedano.

Croatia Songs is a record chart in Croatia for songs, compiled by Billboard since February 2022. The chart is updated every Tuesday on Billboards website. The chart was announced on 14 February 2022 as part of Billboards Hits of the World chart collection.
The first number-one song on the chart was "Behute" by Senidah on the issue dated 19 February 2022.
Methodology
The chart tracks songs' performance from Friday to Thursday. Chart rankings are based on digital downloads from full-service digital music retailers (sales from direct-to-consumer sites such as an individual artist's store are excluded) and online streaming occurred in Croatia during the tracking period. All data are provided by MRC Data.
List of number-one songs
Reception
On the first issue of the chart, all songs that appeared on it were released by the former Yugoslav non-Croatian musicians, apart from "Trebaš li me" by Eni Jurišić and Matija Cvek, "Debili" by 30zona and Kuku$ Klan, "Ti i ja" by Jelena Rozga (in collaboration with Serbian singer Saša Matić), and "Highlife" by Grše, alongside "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals and "Black Summer" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Hrvoje Marjanović of Index.hr criticized the Croatian media for trying to censor mainstream music from other former Yugoslav republics due to its alleged lack of quality, and praised the chart for showcasing what people of Croatia actually listen to. He further praised the death of genre boundaries, claiming that, "on the same IG story of the same person, probably in the same day, you will come across songs by Arctic Monkeys, Drake and Senidah", as well as the death of the "cajka problem".
Croatian music journalists generally reacted positively to the introduction of such a music chart but criticized the local music industry managers for trying to cover up the popularity of trap music. Tena Šarčević of Jutarnji list explained how the lack of Croatian artists might shock some people, but that the Balkan trap genre has been ruling on-demand streaming for quite some time. She further noted how there's a big difference in the Croatian airplay-based HR Top 40 chart with the streaming chart. Ravno Do Dnas Zoran Stajčić commented how the newly introduced Billboard chart is "real" and how it gives real insight into popularity of a song, comparing it to "waking up from the matrix".
Goran Komerički, one of the Croatian Airplay Radio Chart editors, reacted positively to the introduction of the chart and compared the situation with Balkan artists not getting airplay with the song "We Don't Talk About Bruno" not being fully embraced by US radio.
Croatian music managers did not comment on the small amount of Croatian acts charting on the Croatia Songs chart and explained how the chart will help with promoting local music to foreign markets. The CEO of the Croatian Discography Association (HDU), Dario Draštata noted how the HDU is "extremely glad that Croatia has been recognized by Billboard as an important market on the global music map". The president of the Regional Association of Independent Discographers (RUNDA) explained how the chart "is great for business development and allows our performers and their publishers an easier way to recognition of their work outside of Croatia and the [Balkan] region".

Intense Tropical Cyclone Emnati was a tropical cyclone that affected Madagascar, only two weeks after Cyclone Batsirai. The sixth tropical disturbance, the second tropical cyclone, and the second intense tropical cyclone of the 2021–22 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Emnati formed from a zone of disturbed weather that was first noted on 15 February 2022. It continued westward, and steadily intensified before getting named Emnati a day later. Due to present dry air and wind shear, the storm had struggled to intensify significantly, and it became a category 1-equivalent on the Saffir-Simpson Scale later. After it managed to close off its core from prohibiting factors, the storm quickly intensified into a category 4-equivalent days later, forming a small eye around its CDO. Emnati then underwent a lengthy eyewall replacement cycle, which strongly weakened the storm as it moved closer to Madagascar. Eventually, it weakened back to a category 1-equivalent cyclone before making landfall in the country.
Meteorological history
Emnati initially developed as a zone of disturbed weather where it moved westwards over the open waters in the Indian Ocean. Environmental conditions were assessed as being marginally conducive for tropical cyclogenesis, with warm sea surface temperatures near and low vertical wind with the disturbance located about to Diego Garcia south. On the same day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system and by 21:00 UTC JTWC subsequently initiated advisories on the system and classified it Tropical Cyclone 13S. The next day, the system organized into a tropical disturbance. The system continued organizing, and at 12:00 UTC, MFR upgraded the system to a tropical depression. By the 17th of February, the Météo-France La Réunion (MFR) reported that the system had become a moderate tropical storm and the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Mauritius named it Emnati. On February 18, at 00:00 UTC the MFR marked Cyclone Emnati as a Severe Tropical Storm. Just three hours later, the JTWC upgraded Emnati to a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson scale (SSHWS). Due to more favorable conditions, the Emnati intensified to a tropical cyclone. One day later, classified by JTWC as a category 2 tropical cyclone.
Preparations
Mauritius
A Class 4 warning was issued after gusts exceeding 120 km/h were recorded.
Réunion
An Red alert has been declared in Réunion Island, but no deaths have been reported.
Madagascar
Red, yellow, and green alerts were issued as the cyclone neared the island. Saturated grounds from Batsirai's effects earlier were expected to worsen potential rainfall damages. Very heavy rain was forecasted, with over 400–500 mm (15.7 - 19.6 in) falling in the projected landfall area. Flash flooding, and mudslides were warned. A dire humanitarian situation in Madagascar was feared to worsen with Emnati's arrival. In response to the cyclone's passing, the IFRC had sought additional funds for relief efforts. The Secretary General of Malagasy Red Cross said the storm was a "double tragedy". Humanitarian partners and other response teams were placed on Madagascar to help after the storm's landfall. Stocks of food and non-food items were also saved for those affected, mostly pre-positioned in Mananjary and Manakara. Planes and boats were also identified to help facilitate rapid damage assessments. Floodwaters from various areas of 4-8 inch rainfall were expected to be accentuated by Madagascar's mountainous terrain as well, and storm surge and wind impacts were feared to be widespread. More than 30,000 people were moved to safety areas prior to landfall.
Impact
Réunion
Heavy rain caused flooding in many coastal areas.
Madagascar
The storm had struck the country only 18 days after Batsirai.
Emnati made landfall in the country on midnight, 22 February, with winds of 84 mph (135 km/h). Just after landfall, in an unspecified city, extensive damage to houses and buildings was reported by officials and witnesses. As of now, there have been 14 reported deaths from the storm in Madagascar. Houses flooded, and the roofs of houses were said to be torn off. Electricity and water was also cut off from several communities.

Nirut Sonkhamhan (; August 5, 1969 – April 18, 2012), known as The Pickup Truck Killer (), was a Thai serial killer who poisoned nine taxi drivers from 2011 to 2012, six of which died as a result. Sonkhamhan was arrested and charged with the murders, but hanged himself in his jail cell before he could go to trial.
Early life
Nirut Sonkhamhan was born on August 5, 1969, in the Nong Kung Si district. When he was ten years old, he moved with his father moved to Songkhla, where Sonkhamhan remained until the age of 25 when he moved to the village of Khok Krua. There, he married and started a family, and found a job as a taxi driver, but experienced financial difficulties due to his gambling habits.
Murders
As part of his modus operandi, Sonkhamhan would hire taxi drivers to help him move things to various locations with whom he would ride. Along the way, he would stop at a gas station and order coffee, which he would then poison it with pesticide. After the victim was either incapacitated or dead, Sonkhanham would dump their body by the roadside and then sell the vehicle to a gang of car thieves in the Hat Yai district.
On January 11, 2011, the body of the first victim, 67-year-old Yupin Jeonkhem, was found floating in the Lampao Dam, having been weighed down with cement blocks. By examining fingerprints imprinted in front of the victim's house, police determined that the perpetrator was Sonkhamhan, and an arrest warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest.
The next attack came in March when Sonkhamhan poisoned Montree Kalam in Prachuap Khiri Khan, who survived through his injury. After that, he poisoned Nairob Prathon in Surat Thani and dumped his body in a palm plantation, before selling his Toyota Hilux to the car thieves.
On January 3, 2012, Sonkhamhan supposedly poisoned and robbed a man named Watchara Suebchuea, whose body he dumped off a bridge between the Sawi and Thung Tako districts, but the body was never located. Later that month, Sonkhamhan attempted to do the same to a taxi driver named Charoen Daranoi, who realized that he was being poisoned and kicked him out of the car before speeding away. At the very end of January, he poisoned his sixth victim, Paitoon Pattalapho, whom he dumped at a sugarcane plantation in the Cha-am district, unaware that he had survived.
For the following three months, Sonkhamhan successfully poisoned three additional victims: the first was Julsil Salangsing, whose body was found in the Tha Sae district. For the fifth murder, during which Sonkhamhan reportedly brought along his wife, he killed Chamnong Srirachat, whose body was dumped in a grove near a canal in the Mueang Chumphon district on March 18. The final victim was a man named Somsak Srichampa, whose body was found along the Petchkasem Road in the Khlong Wan subdistrict in Prachuap Khiri Khan on April 9.
Arrest
After reviewing CCTV footage of the client last seen with the victims and Srichampa's stolen car, authorities tracked down Sonkhamhan to a hotel room in the Sam Phran district, where the Crime Suppression Division subsequently arrested him. He was subsequently brought to the Khlong Wan Police Station and put in solitary confinement, where he attempted to hang himself with an electric cord on April 17, 2012, but was saved after prison guards found him and cut it off.
On the following day, after excusing himself to the bathroom, Sonkhamhan ripped off a piece of his T-shirt tied it to the bars of the bathroom window and around his neck before he climbed onto the toilet tank and jumped off. This was noticed by the prison guards, who again cut off the cloth and attempted to resuscitate him, but to no avail.

Un été avec Homère () is a 2018 book by the French writer Sylvain Tesson, originally written as a series for France Inter's radio programme Un été avec. Tesson analyses the Iliad and Odyssey by Homer, commenting on their themes, physical environment and the worldview found in them. The book was commercially successful; the French edition sold more than 200,000 copies. An expanded version with original paintings by Laurence Bost was published in 2020.
Background
Un été avec, a programme on the French public radio station France Inter, began in 2012 and consists of a series of radio episodes about a famous writer each summer. The year after, the material is published as a book by France Inter and Éditions des Équateurs. Olivier Frébourg, founder of Éditions des Équateurs, knew the travel writer Sylvain Tesson and approached him with the prospect of writing a series about Jack London for the show. Tesson said he would prefer to make a series about Homer and was allowed to do so. He wrote Un été avec Homère during a month on the island of Tinos, one of the Cyclades in Greece, where he lived isolated in a pigeon house, hoping this would help him to understand Homer better.
Summary
In 65 short essays, organised in 9 sections, Tesson provides personal comments to the Iliad and Odyssey, occasionally referencing writers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt. Tesson goes through theories about the origins of the two epics and supports the view that they were created by a single author who compiled and adapted existing material. He analyses the geography of the stories and stresses the prominence of the Mediterranean light, the danger of the sea and how each island is its own world. He outlines the plots of the Iliad and then the Odyssey, stressing the roles of fate, hubris, walls and talent in the former, and homecoming, lineage and restoration of order in the latter. Tesson discusses Homer's conception of heroic qualities and the various aspects of the Homeric gods, including their weaknesses and how human action can be meaningful despite the absence of free will. Tesson covers the ambivalent view of war in the poems: it is varyingly viewed as terrible, unavoidable and irresistible.
Un été avec Homère goes through the various aspects of hubris, which is the fatal error of lacking moderation and something humans never cease to do. Tesson discusses Homer's style and how it creates a vertical worldview where gods can deride humans for behaving like animals. In the unceremonious portrayals of death and many references to birth and breeding, Tesson sees the core of Homeric religion: "Perhaps we should see this appetite to describe the fertile verve as a definition of paganism: being pagan is to greet all faces of life and to venerate the womb from which they proceed without worrying about their end".
Publication
France Inter aired the radio version of Un été avec Homère in nine weekly episodes from 1 July to 26 August 2017. The book was published by France Inter and Éditions des Équateurs on 26 April 2018. Tesson was more active in the marketing than he had been for previous books. He appeared on the television programme On n'est pas couché and the radio station France Culture. Translations of Un été avec Homère have been published in Dutch (2018), Italian (2019), Korean (2020), Polish (2019), Russian (2019), Spanish (2019) and Swedish (2019).
The French text was republished on 17 June 2020 as Un été avec Homère : voyage dans le sillage d'Ulysse (). In this volume, it is supplemented with Tesson's account of a sailing trip inspired by Victor Bérard's theories about the geography of the Odyssey. The book includes original paintings by Tesson's travelling partner Laurence Bost and historical photographs by Frédéric Boissonnas who travelled in the Mediterranean Sea with Bérard in 1912.
Reception
Le Parisiens Yves Jaeglé wrote that Tesson makes Homer's characters palpable. He stressed how different Un été avec Homère is from a schoolbook and said it will give "hours of happiness" to readers. Mazarine Pingeot of L'Express called the book's analyses "more Nietzschean than Hegelian". She stressed Tesson's cultural criticism, for example how he compares the world and values of Homer to those of Mark Zuckerberg and argues for the enduring relevance of the former, referring to Facebook as a digital version of "Narcissus' puddle". Zoé Petropoulou wrote in The French Review that Un été avec Homère discusses both Homer's writings and physical environment and creates analogies between the ancient epics and contemporary issues, such as armed conflicts and ecology. Petropoulou wrote that Tesson highlights the human side of the Homeric gods and how human and divine matters reflect each other. Laurent Ruquier was annoyed by Un été avec Homère which he said contains subtle reactionary views that people fail to pick up.
Un été avec Homère was a commercial success and topped France's bestseller charts for non-fiction in the spring of 2018. The first print run of 30,000 copies sold out in three days. By July 2018, the French edition had sold 70,000 copies and in August it passed 150,000 copies. As of 2021, it had sold more than 200,000 copies.
Tesson received the Grand Prix Jacques Audiberti in 2018. Although it was for his entire œuvre, the announcement statement said it was "more particularly" for Un été avec Homère.

Firas Zahabi (born February 5, 1980) is a Canadian martial artist who is the owner and head coach at Tristar Gym. Zahabi is known for his work with mixed martial artist, Georges St-Pierre.
Early life
Zahabi was born on February 5, 1980, in Quebec, Canada. His parents were Lebanese emigrants.
Growing up, Zahabi and his brothers were mainly interested in American Football. It wasn't until 1998 when Zahabi turned 18, that he was exposed to martial arts. Zahabi became interested in martial arts after watching UFC 2 where Royce Gracie defeated all his opponents using Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ).
Zahabi attended Concordia University where he graduated with a degree in Philosophy with a specialization in the Ancient Greeks.
Martial arts career
In 2000, Zahabi joined Tristar Gym where he in trained BJJ and Muay Thai. After just six months, Zahabi earned a Blue Belt in BJJ and became a part time coach at the gym.
A few years later, Zahabi met John Danaher and would frequently make trips to Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City in order to train with him. In 2011, Zahabi received his Black Belt in BJJ from Danaher himself.
Because Zahabi was studying at University, he was not able to compete extensively. Nonetheless he became a Canadian Amateur Muay Thai Champion and also won a few provincial-level grappling competitions. He also fought in some amateur unregulated mixed martial arts bouts. The organization was called Full Contact Jiu-Jitsu where Zahabi became champion
Coaching career
In 2007, Conrad Pla the owner of Tristar Gym became too busy to run the gym so it handed over to Zahabi to run. In 2008, the gym was sold to Zahabi and he became the new owner.
Zahabi has since then trained many different fighters under Tristar Gym. His coaching style is focused on technique in a very controlled manner. Fighters will not go all-out during training sessions as he considers it not an effective way to train as recovery is considered important.
Zahabi's most notable student is Georges St-Pierre.The two of them met when they were amateur fighters. After becoming champion, Zahabi decided to become a coach to St-Pierre. After UFC 69 where St-Pierre lost the UFC Welterweight title to Matt Serra, Zahabi became St-Pierre's main coach for the rest of his career.
In April 2021, Zahabi was involved in an incident involving the Montreal police. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the police would regularly visit Tristar Gym to verify it was conforming to public health regulations. After sixteen visits in the past year, on April 9, Zahabi refused to allow the police to come in for the third time on that day. As a result the police waited outside the gym causing a disturbance for hours until the issue was eventually resolve between the two parties.
MMA commentary and television
Zahabi and UFC hall of famer Stephan Bonnar provided the commentary for all Titan FC events broadcast by CBS Sports in 2014.
Zahabi was the MMA coach on The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck, of the UFC‐produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter.
Personal life
Zahabi is the older brother of UFC bantamweight fighter Aiemann Zahabi.
Zahabi is married to Melissa Gendron who he met during university. They have three children which include two sons and one daughter.

Every Dog Has His Day is an album by the American band Let's Active, released in 1988. It was the band's final album.
The title track peaked at No. 17 on Billboard'''s Modern Rock Tracks chart. The band promoted the album by touring with Velvet Elvis.
Production
Recorded in Wales, the album was produced by John Leckie and frontman Mitch Easter. It was mixed at Abbey Road Studios. Determined that the album be more of a band effort, Let's Active also worked to create a heavier sound. New member John Heames played bass on Every Dog Has His Day.
Critical receptionTrouser Press wrote that "the best songs ... are classic Easter: unsettled emotional lyrics and eccentric pop melodies that have him straining on vocal tiptoes to reach the hard bits." The Chicago Reader called the album "lush and bountiful and weird: a gorgeous song like 'Horizon' ... has a twangy feedback that turbocharges the backing track."The Globe and Mail determined that "Easter's heavily layered approach to his sixties psychedelia, punk and pop roots [allow] the band to put all sorts of new twists on old sounds." The Orlando Sentinel stated that "two things dominate from beginning to end—jangling rock 'n' roll guitar and sharp, witty writing." The Omaha World-Herald opined that "Easter's trademark, nasal singing occasionally can be irritating, but that is easily overshadowed by the band's high-energy guitars."
AllMusic wrote that the album "features an overall heavier vibe, with the band rocking like never before, emphasizing a love of hard rock only briefly hinted at on earlier albums, and it's all done very well." The Rolling Stone Album Guide'' concluded that "muscular drumming and raucous powerchords now augment the jangly guitar of yore."

Figures 1 and 2 show scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the RO membrane surface without and with scaling, respectively. Membrane scaling, like other types of membrane fouling, increases energy costs due to higher operating pressure, and reduces permeate water production. Furthermore, scaling may damage and shorten the lifetime of membranes due to frequent membrane cleanings and therefore it is a major operational challenge in RO applications.
Membrane scaling can occur when sparingly soluble salts in RO concentrate become supersaturated, meaning their concentrations exceed their equilibrium (solubility) levels. In RO processes, the increased concentration of sparingly soluble salts in the concentrate is primarily caused by the withdrawal of permeate water from the feedwater. The ratio of permeate water to feedwater is known as recovery which is directly related to membrane scaling. Recovery needs to be as high as possible in RO installations to minimize specific energy consumption. However, at high recovery rates, the concentration of sparingly soluble salts in the concentrate can increase dramatically. For example, for 80% and 90% recovery, the concentration of salts in the concentrate can reach 5 and 10 times their concentration in the feedwater, respectively. If the calcium and phosphate concentrations in the RO feedwater are 200 mg/L and 5 mg/L, respectively, the concentrations in the RO concentrate will be 1000 mg/L and 50 mg/L at 90% recovery, exceeding the calcium phosphate solubility limit and resulting in calcium phosphate scaling.
It is important to note that membrane scaling is not only dependent on supersaturation but also on crystallization kinetics, i.e., nucleation and crystal growth.
Scaling compounds encountered in RO
The most common salts that cause scaling in RO processes are:
Calcium carbonate
Calcium sulfate
Silica/metal silicates
Barium sulfate
Calcium phosphate
Scaling prediction methods
There are a number of indices available to determine the scaling tendency of sparingly soluble salts in a water solution. These indices provide information if a given scale-forming specie is undersaturated, saturated, or supersaturated. Scaling does not occur when a compound is undersaturated, while it will take place sooner or later when a compound is supersaturated.
The most commonly used indices to predict scaling in RO applications are:
Saturation index (SI)
where, IAP and Ksp are ion activity product and solubility product of the sparingly soluble salt, respectively. For instance, SI for calcium sulphate can be calculated as follows:
where, γ is activity coefficient. [Ca2+] and [SO42−] are calcium and sulphate concentrations in mol/L, respectively.
Supersaturation ratio (Sr)
where IAP and Ksp are ion activity product and solubility product of the sparingly soluble salt, respectively. For instance, Sr for calcium sulphate can be calculated as follows:
where, γ is activity coefficient. [Ca2+] and [SO42−] are calcium and sulphate concentrations in mol/L, respectively.
Langelier saturation index (LSI)
LSI is used only for calcium carbonate scaling. On the other hand, SI and Sr are applicable for all compounds.
A positive value for each SI and LSI indicates that scaling may occur in RO, whereas a negative value implies that scaling will not occur. Similarly, scaling may occur when Sr>1, but not when Sr<1.
Scaling control in RO applications
There are several methods for preventing scaling in RO applications, including acidification of RO feed, lowering RO system recovery, and antiscalant addition. Acidification of RO feedwater was one of the first methods for tackling calcium carbonate scaling in RO processes. However, due to the risks associated with the use of acid, this method is becoming less common. Furthermore, acidification may not be effective for all types of scales; for example, it is very effective in preventing calcium carbonate scaling but not calcium sulphate scaling.
Another method of preventing scaling is to operate RO at low recovery (ratio of permeate water to the feedwater). The recovery of the RO application is reduced in this approach to reduce the supersaturation level of the concentrate water to undersaturated conditions. Low recovery reduces the adverse effect of concentration polarization because there is less solute concentration on the membrane surface, reducing the potential for scale formation. This approach, however, is not very appealing or economical because it results in high specific energy consumption. Furthermore, the large amount of concentrate disposal is a problem.
Antiscalants addition to the RO feed is one of the most widely applied strategies in term of scale control. Antiscalants are primarily organic compounds containing sulphonate, phosphonate, or carboxylic acid functional groups that hinder the crystallization process, i.e., nucleation and/or growth phase of scaling compounds. Antiscalant prevent scale formation by three mechanisms, namely threshold inhibition, crystal modification and dispersion. Threshold inhibition is when antiscalant molecules adsorb on crystal nuclei and halt their nucleation process, whereas crystal modification and dispersion are the ability of antiscalants to stop the growth and/or agglomeration of crystals and particles. There are several commercial antiscalants on the market. In RO applications, antiscalants are chosen based on the composition of the feedwater, and their doses are usually calculated using computer programs created by antiscalant manufacturers.

Jasmine Road is a Canadian drama film, directed by Warren Sulatycky and released in 2020. The film stars Greg Ellwand as Mac Bagley, a rancher in rural southern Alberta who has been emotionally closed off since the death of his wife; after his schoolteacher daughter Loretta (Caitlyn Sponheimer) learns that her student Heba (Melody Mokhtari), a Syrian refugee who came to Canada with her mother Layla (Aixa Kay) and uncle Salem (Ahmed Muslimani), needs to find a new place to live, she invites the family to stay at the ranch, with Mac's initial resistance to the idea giving way to acceptance and a new lease on life as he gets to know them.
The film premiered at the 2020 Calgary International Film Festival, and was subsequently screened as the opening gala of the 2020 Edmonton International Film Festival.
Production
According to Sulatycky, the film was originally conceived as two separate ideas, one for a film about a grieving rancher and another for a film about what happens to refugee families after they've begun to establish themselves in Canada, but the concepts didn't really come together until he decided to combine them.
The film was shot in the Longview area in 2019.
Awards
The film won the award for Best Canadian Feature at Edmonton, and an Audience Choice award at the 2021 Central Alberta Film Festival.
The film received five Rosie Award nominations from the Alberta Media Production Industries Association, for Best Feature Film, Best Direction, Best Screenplay, Best Sound and Best Costume Design. Sulatycky won the award for Best Screenplay.
Aixa Kay received an ACTRA Award nomination for Best Actress from the Vancouver chapter of UBCP/ACTRA.
Suad Bushnaq received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Original Score at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022.
